The Latrobe Demons went a long way to cementing their place in the double chance position with a convincing 19 shot win over Port Sorell winning on three rinks. Garry Courtney called on support and received it from Callum Butler, Phillip Mundy, and Frederick Sheehan to record a 34-19 shot win over Rohan Donahue. Anthony Johns defeated Rod Everett and Greg Douce finished five to the good of Paul Marshall. Aaron Jago who came away with a win over Tim Douce 26-22. If there was any doubt about Port Sorell not making the four then that doubt has been removed. They cannot make it as they are now two games plus behind fourth-placed Ulverstone. South Burnie defeated Penguin on one rink only but still managed to win the game by 29 shots. The winning rink for South was the Cameron Griffiths, Nicholas Chilcott, Vaughan Eaves, Peter Lockhart rink who absolutely demolished their Penguin opponents 47-7 to put the end result beyond doubt. Penguin’s winning skips were Wayne Wilcox over Cameron Windram 21-16. Wayne Manson returned to the winner’s list with a 25-23 shot margin over former club mate Ricky Richardson and Peter French finished four in front of Luke Richardson winning 23-19. Penguin can rightly feel a little aggrieved at winning on three rinks but going down by such a large margin. Despite only recording eight points it was enough to keep South a game clear on top of the ladder. The top four is very interesting with South on 146 points, Latrobe 132, Burnie 122 and the big movers Ulverstone 121. In what was billed as the game of the round between Ulverstone and Burnie proved to be just that with the end result being a draw 96-96. Rinks were shared. The Robins had Sam McLean, Mark Atkinson, Geoff McLean, and Blair Fidler scoring as they pleased winning 37-16 over Patrick Smith. His big win was negated by the Mark Nitz, Jake Wyllie, Danny Patmore, Geoff Williams foursome who defeated Rodney Horton 33-17. The Tigers David Gamble defeated Eden Moore 27-21 and Colin Willcox won 21-20 for the Robins. The Robins have been steadily building for the last few weeks and they are sending out a message to the other sides that they will be no pushover come finals time. The question must be asked has the dominance of the Tigers come to an end. The Devonport Eagles have made sure that Wynyard will remain in the relegation position by defeating them by 15 shots in the process winning on three rinks and sharing the other. For the second week in a row, the Cats have pushed their opposition but have not been able to turn that into a win. All four rinks were relatively close with the largest win being the Tristan Bakes, Paul Harker, David Pinner, Bruce Robinson rink who defeated Grant Crowe 31-20. Greg Williamson had to work hard to overcome the Cats John Neal 23-21 as did Michael Higginson in defeating Tony Haneveer 24-22. The Ian Moore versus Damien Symes played a 22 shot draw.
